If we could get our Centre halves etc to chip in with a few goals from corners free kicks etc it would give us a new dimension and also more problems for our opponents to figure out, i remember players like Billy Clarke Andy Tilson Adam Barrett Stevie Elliot all scoring a few goals a season, am pretty sure it gives opposing managers a lot to worry about like when teams play sides like Chelsea for example they must worry themselves sick when they see players like Terry etc coming up for set plays. i totally agree, whenever we don't score in matches people come on here and say we need a new striker when in fact the goal return from our front men is pretty decent . we dont have anyone chipping in from other areas of the pitch , our entire midfield has probably only scored 5 goals between them this year .

listening to the dc interview after the game it didnt really sound like he's that desperate to sign another striker and fully expects harrison to return at the end of the month. tubbs is the wrong side of 30 and has been injured alot recently , i dont think that hes a much better option than harrison. both have a similar goals return this season and at least we know harrison can make a impact from the bench. also hes 10 years younger.

Really ! according to lee brown jake gosling is the most naturally gifted footballer at the club . That's the end of it then. Afterall Lee Brown also said the he enjoyed playing with Monkhouse...and that got added to the Bayeux Tapestry didn't it! Gosling therefore is the most naturally gifted footballer that we have. to be fair monkhouse did very well for us and lee brown trains with the squad day in day out so i'll trust his opinion over the know it alls who post on here . he also said ellis harrison was the most influential player in the dressing room but why let facts get in the way of slagging off valued members of our squad.

I think DC has raised our expectations more than he should have. Whilst most of us would have accepted mid table at the beginning of the season, DC says "top 7" . Expectations are fine but to meet them then we really need more players with league experience. Or players that are better than we have. At first I thought Easter would be that, but he's not outstanding compared to most of the others. Maybe it's the way we play him. Yes I is a shame about Gaffney but I certainly hope that DC has someone else in mind, we don't need a repeat of the Constable saga. Meanwhile for the life of me I don't understand why we don't let some of the others go. Why do we keep hold of Gosling, when Montanna is a lot better? Is DC too kind to some of his players, or is it no one else wants them. Truth is we definitely have some tough games coming up, and we need more bite up front Really ! according to lee brown jake gosling is the most naturally gifted footballer at the club .

Would love to see the reaction if the jokes about gaffneys ginger hair were made to someone from a "protected group" Just saying, you'd be arrested and banned for life, with hoards wanting them to "throw the book at you"for damage to someone's feelings. What a myriad of double standards we lead. I have a young ginger family member get stick for it....so did I (I'm only vaguely ginger though) I applaud the jokes, don't get me wrong I'm not having a pop, except to those who believe it's any different to any other type of joke based on a persons appearance. Just to get this straight, the following are fine: Gingers Blonde women Where does the source of all our moral compass (the media and judiciary) stand on fatties and 4 eyes these days? Is that a prison sentence yet? I'm confused as it keeps changing and I can't keep up. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe a bit controversial but why don't the fans that; I) go to the Welly ii) buy on line merchandise from individuals iii) have bought on line books (print that season is an exception as x% of the sales in the club shop, I believe actually go to the club) iv) gave money to Wembley hawkers V) made profits on selling fanzines vi) paid a fiver to the steward who a few years ago let them in without paying the entrance money etc ask any of the companies/individuals that have made money out of the Gas if they would like to contribute to Rory's fee,wages etc. I would guess in the last year well over £150k has been spent by Rovers fans on the back of Rovers success to these people with little (or none!) going to the club! People moan about past players ripping off the club but even some of our own fans are doing it - no excuses, its a disgrace! ps, for crowd funding see the Share scheme - doesn't 20% go on signings. The last one ones I can remember were Rhys Evans & Steve Books wages. SC over to you. get promoting it and let's get some money raised for Rory Ye it's all the fans fault mate

didnt think there was much in it , the defender was watching the ball and raised his arms to jump. don't think any malicious was involved.

Has anyone else noticed how far apart, across the front line, Gaffney and Easter played. I commented on the separation at one point during yesterday's game, and a few minute later, to try and prove me wrong the guy next to me pointed out that the two were closer together. As he spoke, Easter gestured to Gaffney to move further apart. They must have spent the majority of the game never closer than 25 yards apart it seemed to work well as they split the defence quite nicely and led to a half time sub in the O's defence. rovers played very wide the whole game wasnt just the front two , the midfield was very spread out as well.

Rovers were given 900 tickets to sell and only sold 750 so they gave Wimbledon back 150 tickets and Wimbledon made the decision to alow fans to pay on the day. Unfortunately many more than the 150 extra turned up . To be fair I was in the ground and couldn't see f**k all anyway,

Personally I think if you can't get excited when your team wins 3-0 and gets into a playoff place , you may as well do what that Swindon fan did and throw away your season ticket and give back all your memorabilia as you obviously take no joy in supporting the team anymore .

they couldn't give tickets away for the playoff game against us and that was the biggest game in the clubs history , what difference will it make if there in the championship with a shiny new stadium.
